Description
background of invention
People have createed various cleaning article and have come for dedusting and slight cleaning.Such as, cloth matter rag that is dry or that soaked with polishing and Cleasing compositions and paper handkerchief is employed on relatively flat surfaces.But rag and paper handkerchief can have problems due to the reason of following aspect: such as wholesomeness (hand of user may touch chemicals, dirt or surface in clean period), sphere of action (user may be difficult to the hand holding rag or paper handkerchief to extend into the position being difficult to touch) and inconvenience (carry out cleaning between the goods that gap is very little and usually need mobile goods).
In order to overcome the problem relevant with paper handkerchief to using rag, the various dust collect plants with feather, little wool and synthetic fibers brush have been utilized century more than one, as within 1906, authorized the US 823 of Hayden, shown in 725.This type of dust collect plant manufactures may costly, be therefore designed to clean with reusable.Have developed disposable cleaning article, they have limited reusable ability.These disposable cleaning articles can comprise the brush portion be made up of the synthetic fiber bundle being attached on non-woven material slice.Described control of dust cleaning article can be longitudinally axis elongated, flat and/or can be " can fluff " to increase the surface area of fiber.Such device can such as according to United States Patent (USP) 6, and 047,435; 6,813,801 B2 and/or EP 1,299,026 B1 manufactures.
These references disclose and can be attached to reusable shank and the disposable cleaning article that can remove from described shank, be such as generally illustrated in WO 02/34101 A1 submitted to October 25 calendar year 2001.Shank can have the handgrip and one or more parts for being removably attached to by shank on disposable cleaning article that grasp in clean period for user.Common for by shank, the parts be removably attached on deduster comprise one or more elongated pointed tooth.Described one or more pointed tooth can be inserted in the one or more corresponding complementary sleeves be arranged on cleaning article.Common geometry comprises the parallel longitudinal elongated pointed tooth of on shank two, and described elongated pointed tooth is inserted in the parallel longitudinal slender casing of the complementation be arranged on the link side of cleaning article.
Carried out various trial to improve shank.Such as, US 6,978,509 and US 7,293,317 proposes a kind of shank, and this shank has the handle be fixed to pivotly respectively in fork and the supporting member being pivotably connected to shank forward.US 4,788,435 proposes a kind of brush body be rotatably installed on carrier.US 7,219,386 proposes a kind of Extensible telescopic shank.But these progress are all helpless to cleaning device to remain on shank.
US 3,413,673 and D572,813S propose following shank, and they have to be frictionally engaged the fold of deduster.These folds generally stretch out from the top of pointed tooth or wide face.This geometry has following shortcoming: when fold is inserted on pointed tooth, and they may tear deduster.US D579,615 S are (by direct assignee with Swiffer Dusters
name sell) and aforementioned US 7,383,602 propose following pointed tooth, it is outstanding that described pointed tooth has the thin deformable of stretching out from side or the leptoprosopy of pointed tooth.These bibliography also proposed the fixture that the near-end 20 near pointed tooth is arranged.But described giving prominence to can cause tearing of cleaning article with fixture equally when inserting.
The one that other direction is done attempts being illustrated in US 6,047, in 435, which proposes the head increased monotonously.A kind of similar trial sees the Azuma shank of commercially available acquisition.This shank has microrelief in vertical direction, and described fluctuating is little and do not provide the remarkable friction with cleaning article compared with the thickness of pointed tooth.These are arranged and can not keep the fixing of cleaning device during use fully.A kind of trial overcoming this problem sees US 5,953,784, which proposes the shank with specific binders part.But the method both added, and (both) turn increases the complexity of assembling.
Another kind method is illustrated in US 7, and 251, in 851, which propose a kind of single spiral component.The front end of described spiral component is bifurcated.But this layout is even more complicated than aforementioned any layout, because it needs interior curved component.In addition, the component of the type is also tending towards tearing cleaning element.Equally, the shank of the plane of US 4,829,622 is also tending towards tearing cleaning device.
Although attempted the sanitary characteristics improving dust collect plant, exploring still in the problem continued to reducing deduster and poor efficiency, especially having reduced the problem relevant to the multi-sided deduster for clean target surface and poor efficiency.

Continue see Fig. 1 and inspect shank 10 in more detail, shank 10 can comprise one or more handle attachment such as pointed tooth 14 and the handgrip 12 for user's grasping for being attached to cleaning article connect mechanism.Shank 10 can be conducive to increasing sphere of action and navigability, provides pressure to improve spatter property, and be conducive to making the hand of target surface and user spaced apart to target surface.Be susceptible to and removably can be attached to cleaning article and shank 10 within the scope of the appended claims.
Shank 10 removably directly can be attached to cleaning article, or by another component use any exercisable method of attachment comprise machinery be indirectly connected with chemical method.As limiting examples, hook-loop fastener, adhesive, cohesive attachment or mechanical engagement can be used to removably link shank 10 and cleaning article.If select mechanical engagement, then cleaning article can have and to be complementary to and for receiving the sleeve pipe of one or more pointed tooths 14 of cleaning article.Each pointed tooth 14 of shank 10 all can be substantially flat, have constant or variable cross section, can be curve in the plane of handgrip 12 or in perpendicular plane, and can have identical or different size, length and geometry.
Pointed tooth 14 can overhang out from handgrip 12.Handgrip 12 and pointed tooth 14 can be integrated/overall maybe can comprise two or more parts that can be bonded together.Handgrip 12 can be almost parallel or relative to each other tilts, and can be roughly parallel to longitudinal axes L-L orientation.Although what illustrate is two pointed tooths 14, shank 10 can comprise single recessed pointed tooth 14 or common three or more the pointed tooths 14 forming recessed geometry or otherwise depart from datum plane.Allow pointed tooth 14 to engage as described and keep any recessed of cleaning article and can foretell that convex configuration is all suitable.Handgrip 12 also can be roughly longitudinal trend, is parallel to described one or more pointed tooth and offsets in line or from them with them.14 shanks 10 can be Extensible telescopic, or are in other words tensile/contractile and/or hinged.
The z direction of cleaning article is the direction perpendicular to the non-woven layer near shank 10; The x-y plane of cleaning article is defined as the plane limited by the non-woven layer near shank 10.The length of cleaning article, sleeve pipe etc. obtains in the vertical.The width of cleaning article corresponds to perpendicular to length and the direction be arranged in the plane of binder couse.Thickness 25 is defined as the average-size on z direction.Be longitudinally the principal direction of cleaning article, shank 10 or their assembly.As used herein, longitudinally skew refer to two or more assemblies or point be arranged on be not positioned at longitudinally axis L-L common location on one or more assemblies on.
Cleaning article can be used for one-stop operation, then discards; Or can be restored and be recycled and reused for more times operation, then discard.Cleaning article can comprise one or more structure part.Structure part can be laminated together.Each structure part all can have the outside preferential clean side of first surface and corresponding thereto second towards interior link side.Single structure part can be used as the burnisher on limit, as known in the art.Ground floor can comprise non-woven material slice.Suitable non-woven material can according to the common United States Patent (USP) 6,797,357 transferred the possession of; 6,936,330, D489,537 and/or D499,887 manufacture.
Two or more synusia can be bonded together to produce one or more third layer by hot adhesion, autologous bonding, adhesive or additive method known in the art.These two synusia of adhesive joint can provide by pattern as follows, and described pattern can provide the sleeve pipe being complementary to and also can receiving the pointed tooth 14 of shank 10.Bonding can provide by pattern as follows, described pattern be roughly longitudinally trend so that pointed tooth 14 can be inserted in the pocket or sleeve pipe produced between contiguous bonding.
Sleeve pipe can have expose portion, and described expose portion has the longitudinal size of at least 5mm.This length is enough to allow most of user handle by being inserted in sleeve pipe by pointed tooth 14 and being attached on it by shank 10.
If needed, a layer can comprise the sheet shunk in the horizontal.The method can provide fold or wrinkle in said layer.These interlayers separate by pleats/wrinkles, thus allow more easily to be inserted in sleeve pipe by pointed tooth 14.
If needed, cleaning article is optionally with clean solution or can be used for other objects such as treatment surface and use together with other solution or disinfectants etc. of improving outward appearance.Clean solution pre-applied to cleaning article can produce the cleaning article of pre-wet, maybe can be included in individual reservoir to be metered on cleaning article and/or target surface.
Continue see Fig. 1, shank 10 is elongated, has the principal direction being parallel to longitudinal axis.Shank 10 comprises handgrip 12 and is attached to one or more pointed tooths 14 that maybe can be attached to cleaning article.Although the object in order to illustration shows the present invention have two pointed tooths 14, technical staff will recognize that and the present invention is not limited thereto, and only by the restriction of the number of the pointed tooth 14 described in claim.Therefore, although single pointed tooth 14 is feasible, it has generation single failure and makes system occur handicapped shortcoming.Multiple pointed tooth 14 overcomes this shortcoming.
Handgrip 12 and pointed tooth 14 can or can not be conllinear, and any one in both can or can not be all roughly straight line.But both are all roughly parallel to longitudinal direction.Pointed tooth 14 limits datum plane.Datum plane P-P is major part through pointed tooth 14 and is parallel to longitudinal plane.Generally, datum plane P-P determines by such as under type: placed on flat horizontal surfaces by pointed tooth 14, and determine (by section) the plane that intercepts by the major part of pointed tooth 14.If pointed tooth 14 is mirror image each other, then datum plane P-P intercepts each pointed tooth 14 with equal angle.
See Fig. 2, pointed tooth 14 can be seen alternately coplanar and not coplanar with datum plane in section.But, datum plane P-P intercepts the middle part of pointed tooth 14.In the particular instance shown in Fig. 2, the coplanar portions of pointed tooth 14 is alternately positioned on the relative both sides of datum plane, is namely positioned at above and below datum plane.But in alternate embodiment, the not coplanar portions of pointed tooth 14 can be positioned at the top of datum plane completely or be positioned at below it completely, in any case but be all arranged in the common side of datum plane.
Embodiment shown in Fig. 2 provides following advantage relative to prior art: compared with the pointed tooth 14 of the general plane of prior art, and the part below datum plane P-P of pointed tooth 14 or the part (if all not coplanar portions all above it) on datum plane P-P reduce the contact area of pointed tooth 14 and the target surface that will clean.For the constant force that the hand by user applies, the reduction of this type of contact area adds the pressure be applied on target surface.
The coplanar portions that the embodiment of Fig. 2 also show pointed tooth is mutually coplanar, and the same position namely on longitudinal axis is coplanar.This arrangement provides and carry out constant clean advantage on the width of shank.But in an alternative embodiment, fluctuating between coplanar portions and non-coplanar portions can be inclination.This arrangement provides the advantage that can clean more complex surface and object.
In an alternative embodiment, the part coplanar with datum plane P-P of pointed tooth 14 is without the need to having longitudinal extent in parallel.On the contrary, the coplanar portions of pointed tooth 14 can simply across datum plane.In degeneracy situation, pointed tooth 14 can be similar to sine wave, and wherein coplanar portions is as the flex point being configured to overlap with datum plane.
In aforementioned arbitrary embodiment and modification, pointed tooth 14 all has the thickness 25 obtained perpendicular to datum plane.Pointed tooth 14 also has the width being parallel to datum plane and obtaining.Be considered to the part not coplanar with datum plane for being intended to, the deviation between pointed tooth 14 and datum plane P-P is greater than the thickness 25 of pointed tooth 14.
Fig. 1 also show optional outstanding 30, described outstanding symmetrically and laterally upwards extend in outside.Outstanding 30 can be omitted to reduce the situation that cleaning article is torn when it is installed on pointed tooth 14.
See Fig. 3-4, the major part of pointed tooth 14 can be parallel to longitudinal axis.But this type of part of pointed tooth 14 substantially can be not coplanar with datum plane P-P over their entire lengths.As shown in Figure 4, pointed tooth 14 is similarly similar to the blade with thickness 25.The amount that pointed tooth 14 departs from datum plane P-P is greater than the thickness 25 of described blade.
Especially, each pointed tooth 14 all has the inside edge being adjacent to longitudinal axis, and the corresponding outer ledge spaced to longitudinal axis.The outer ledge of pointed tooth arrange than the inside edge of pointed tooth further from datum plane P-P.This geometry provides roughly recessed layout, and wherein cleaning article is bent to conform to this concavity.The part on the contact target surface of cleaning article is convex.Described convex layout unexpectedly allows more clean fiber to penetrate in the less space of cleaned goods.Certainly, technical staff will recognize that, also can use contrary layout, and wherein the inside edge of pointed tooth is further from datum plane P-P and outer ledge.Certainly, the mixed-arrangement of of being combined with in the pointed tooth 15 of every type can also be used.
Under any circumstance, the far-end 22 of pointed tooth 14 all can be roughly parallel to datum plane.This layout provides following beneficial effect: pointed tooth 14 can more easily be inserted in the sleeve pipe of cleaning article.The part vertically deviating from datum plane P-P extension of pointed tooth 14 provides stickiness and friction to prevent cleaning article from unexpected disengaging occurring during use.
Equally, can think that each pointed tooth 14 all has the shape being roughly similar to flat blade.The width of pointed tooth 14 can generally comparatively large in middle part and the corresponding near-end 20 of described pointed tooth and far-end 22 place less.Therefore, the width of pointed tooth 14 right and wrong in its whole longitudinal extent change monotonously.Pointed tooth 14 also can have the slit passed therethrough.Slit provides the beneficial effect of the hardness reducing pointed tooth 14, thus makes it be easier to conform to target surface and be easier to insert and remove cleaning article.
Can think pointed tooth 14 have corresponding concave surface 28 facing with each other and from outwardly away from each other towards convex surface 28.Any one in these two kinds of faces 28 all can be general planar, if figure is about shown in convex surface 28; Or be uneven, if figure is about shown in concave surface 28.Concave surface 28 can limit about 90 degree to 140 degree between which, more particularly the included angle A of about 110 degree to 130 degree.
There are two can be equal length and the embodiment of pointed tooth 14 for mirror image each other although what Fig. 1-4 illustrated is, the present invention is not limited thereto.The present invention can be used for the shank 10 comprising single pointed tooth 14, and described pointed tooth is recessed or otherwise has the part be arranged on significantly outside datum plane.Equally, the present invention also can be used for the shank 10 with three or more pointed tooths 14.In addition, pointed tooth 14 also can have equal or unequal length, and the embodiment shown in Fig. 1-2 and Fig. 3-4 capable of being combined.If use the pointed tooth 14 of unsymmetrical arrangement, then can think that each pointed tooth 14 limits corresponding datum plane.In addition, if think that pointed tooth 14 is oversize in the vertical, then this type of pointed tooth 14 can be reinforced with cross-bridges (not shown), and described pointed tooth 14 is attached to contiguous pointed tooth 14 by described cross-bridges.
See table 1, compare the shank 10 that comprises each embodiment of the present invention and contrast shank, described contrast shank is according to the common US D579 transferred the possession of, 615 make and as Swiffer Duster
shank is commercially sold.For each sample, by the Swiffer Duster of 30 commercially available acquisitions
cleaning article is inserted on described shank 10 and also removes from it.Average insertion force and removal force are illustrated in table 1.
Table 1
| Shank (n=30) | Average insertion force (N) | Average removal force (N) | Ratio |
| A tester | 20.2BC | 6.6 | 3.4 |
| B Fig. 1-2 | 9.2 | 3.0AC | 3.1 |
| C Fig. 3-4 | 11.8 | 6.4 | 1.8 |
Table 1 unexpectedly shows, the embodiment of Fig. 3-4 provides the immediate measured value between insertion force and removal force.Therefore, in use, if need lower insertion force for specific removal force, then probably the tearing of less generation cleaning article.Be not bound by theory, it is believed that the favourable outcome of the embodiment of shown Fig. 3-4 is attributable to not give prominence to 30.Statistically evident difference between other samples when 95% confidence level of name instruction of BC and AC.
The problem of tearing reducing cleaning article is important.When tearing, user can think the inferior quality of goods.In addition, cleaning article even also may become and cannot use.It is lower that consumer probably will think that this based article is worth.This situation increases the weight of because of the tolerance limit occurred during manufacture.When sleeve pipe becomes tightlier or be more loose, cleaning article adaptive in theory possibly cannot coordinate well.If sleeve pipe is too tight, then may tear.If sleeve pipe is too loose, then goods may depart from shank 10 during use.Both of these case is all non-desired.But, upper table 1 show be less than 2 and the insertion force being even less than 1.9 to the ratio of removal force, wherein can obtain the removal force being greater than 6N.
